Gotta be Miami I’m assuming. That’s why they traded Oladipo’s contract and let Strus and Vincent walk — to open up cap space for Dame. They’ve likely known about this for a couple days.

He's gotta be going to Miami.

Two or so years late for Dame to finally say those words.

Guess he ain’t feeling so loyal anymore huh?

That contract they just gave Jerami Grant suddenly looks a whole lot worse. What a mess.

Better take that pen out of Grant’s hand ASAP.

It's about Damn (Dame?) time.

He’ll be traded to the Raptors

Lmfao. Jerami Grant contract looking worse now.

He'll be in Miami shortly. That's why they traded Dipo and are letting their players go and have no PG outside of Lowry that they'll be using in this trade.

Miami not making any moves makes all the sense in the world. They probably got wind this was coming and decided to keep their cap sheet clean

Not really. People are overreacting about keeping Jerami who would be very easy to swing for assets. Even if we keep him for an easy 20-22 a night with the young guards. Who else is getting the money right now?

Yeah that's been their explicit plan all along, hasn't been a secret.

Finally after all the years of his fake ass Supermax loyalty trying to put himself in the Dirk//Duncan loyalty tier while refusing any paycut to help the team

Finally!!!

Dame was loyal to a fault sadly. Should’ve requested a trade 2 years ago after the Blazers proved they couldn’t build a contender around him. Now he’s 33 and despite coming off a career year, will likely start regressing soon.

Read on Twitter

Would Dame make Miami favorites to come out of the East?
